The first-generation iPod came out on November 10, 2001, making today the 24th anniversary of the device's launch. Apple announced it in late October, but November 10 was the first day customers were able to get their hands on it. Even way back in 2001, there were leaks and fake leaks before the iPod launched. In one rumor article, Apple's upcoming device was dubbed the "iWalk" and described as a PDA with a high-color TFT-screen with handwriting recognition, which did not prove to be true. CNET suggested that it was too sophisticated to be an MP3 player, and was instead a component for a home digital stereo system, while a German website said it was "like a standalone CD-writer" that looks like "a Hifi component." The site did accurately predict that it would make it possible to "have all the music in the house stored on one place," but described it as a sort of AirPlay-enabled speaker. More reliable rumors accurately pegged it as a digital music device able to sync with a computer, and in the days leading up to the launch, the iPod name leaked. Even with the info that came out, much of the iPod's introduction was a surprise because 2001 leaks were much less detailed than 2025 leaks. Some MacRumors readers lined up to buy one on launch day, kicking off a tradition of long lines at Apple Stores that continued well into the iPhone launch days. As with any Apple product launch, there were some mixed reactions to the iPod, and of course a slew of early complaints. Here's what the forums had to say: At $399, the iPod is way too expensive The shiny backplate attracts too many fingerprints Sound quality isn't good enough compared to CDs It gets warm when charging It was Mac only, cutting out PC users There were plenty of MacRumors readers thrilled with the iPod, and as we well know, it was a wildly popular device that spurred several subsequent models and eventually led to the launch of the iPhone. It was impressive to be able to have a 5GB FireWire drive in your pocket at the time, and iPod owners used it as a hard drive for file transfers. MP3 players existed, but nothing with the storage capacity and design of the iPod. With the iPhone that does everything an iPod does, there's no longer a need for the iPod. The very last iPod was the iPod touch, which Apple updated sporadically and then didn't touch after 2019. It was officially discontinued in 2022, marking the end of the iPod line. Apple almost never announces when a product has been discontinued, but the iPod was an exception given its history. In a statement, Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak said that the "Spirit of the iPod lives on" across all of the company's products, from the iPhone to Apple Watch to HomePod. The iPod will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. Apple has revived old products in the past, but people have little use for a music-only device in 2025. Apple is, however, working on a home hub that can play music, run apps, and control smart home products, and it's described as a small, square device with a display. It's possible Apple could reference the iPod when unveiling the device, or even borrow a part of its name like it did when naming the HomePod.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums01:20 amYou can now ask Siri to run your Samsung SmartThings routines

Mophie today announced the launch of new Juice Pack charging cases designed for the iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Juice Pack for iPhone Air was designed to be slim so it doesn't add too much bulk to Apple's thin and light iPhone. It includes a 2,400 mAh battery that Mophie says provides up to 60 percent more power. The iPhone Air case is 15mm thick, but it is the thinnest of the three Juice Pack cases. The Juice Pack for iPhone 17 Pro has a 3,000 mAh battery, while the Juice Pack for iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 3,600 mAh battery. Both cases provide 50 percent more battery for Apple's Pro iPhones and are just over 19mm thick. All three cases weigh 98 grams, according to Mophie. Along with additional power, the cases provide protection for the iPhone 17 lineup. There are raised edges to keep the screen from getting scratched or cracked, and high-impact protection shields the iPhone from drops and bumps. An included lanyard loop port allows for a lanyard to be attached. Mophie's Juice Pack cases offer passthrough charging, so plugging them into USB-C will charge the iPhone first and then the case. There's also support for passthrough USB-C audio for those who prefer wired headphones. All three Juice Pack cases are priced at $99.99 and can be purchased from the Mophie website as of today.Tag: MophieThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forumsMonday November 1011:47 pmHomepod mini marked as 'out of stock' and 'discontinued' yet again
The HomePod mini can no longer be purchased from select online retailers, which could indicate an impending update, though this has happened before.The HomePod mini is now labeled as 'discontinued' or 'out of stock' at select online retailers.Apple's compact Wi-Fi-enabled speaker, the HomePod mini, was introduced back in 2020. At only 3.3 inches tall, it is much smaller than the full-size HomePod, but you can still use it to ask Siri questions. Like any speaker, it can also play music, though not in home theater mode.In terms of hardware, the HomePod mini hasn't seen any updates since its launch, unless you count color changes. It's been suggested that a successor product is in the works, and in October 2025 we also saw claims of dwindling stock.

Apple product retailer B&H is listing all HomePod mini models as discontinued, and no longer offering them for sale. Some other retailers are also listing the HomePod mini as out of stock or on backorder, which suggests that an update isn't too far off. Adorama lists the HomePod mini as backordered, and select colors are out of stock at Target. Walmart doesn't have any stock that's not from resellers, Staples has no HomePod minis available online, and at least one color is sold out from Verizon. The Midnight color option is unavailable for shipping from Best Buy, though other colors are in stock. Apple is still selling all colors of the speaker, with options available for both immediate shipping and pick up. Apple is rumored to be working on a new version of the HomePod mini, and Bloomberg said it could come as soon as this month. It's possible that the waning stock at third-party retailers is a sign that we'll get a new version of the HomePod mini before the end of 2025. Apple held an event in September and did a series of product releases in October, casting some doubt that a new model is still on the immediate horizon. The next HomePod mini is expected to have an upgraded S-series chip inside and Apple's N1 networking chip, but there are no design changes rumored except for refreshed color options.This article, "B&H Lists HomePod Mini as Discontinued Amid Refresh Rumors" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:09 pmApple TV execs: No plans for ad-supported tier or to buy Warner Bros.

Macworld The iPhone Air was released over a month ago, and several reports have said that Apple’s thinnest and lightest iPhone isn’t catching on with customers. Apparently, the situation has deteriorated to a point now that, according to The Information, Apple decided not to move ahead with an update to the iPhone Air that was scheduled for release in 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the rumored foldable iPhone. It is being reported that iPhone Air production lines are being reduced by Apple supplier, Foxconn, and production may stop altogether at the end of this month. Another Apple supplier, Luxshare, reportedly stopped iPhone Air production last month, with no sign of rescheduling, The Information reports. Apple has been looking for an iPhone model that complements the standard and pro models, but its offerings have not met expectations. The iPhone Plus, a larger version of the standard iPhone, reportedly did not catch on with customers. The iPhone Air replaced the Plus with a new, slim profile that generated a bit of hype, but it has also been met with a lukewarm sales reception. The iPhone Air is perceived as essentially half of the foldable phone Apple is expected to release next year. Foldable phones address a niche market, and it remains to be seen if a foldable iPhone can perform in the role that Apple hoped the iPhone Plus and iPhone Air would.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Apple silicon chip that replaced Intel chips in Apple's Mac lineup. The first Apple silicon chip, the M1, was unveiled on November 10, 2020. The M1 debuted in the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and 13-inch MacBook Pro. The M1 chip was impressive when it launched, featuring the "world's fastest CPU core" and industry-leading performance per watt, and it's only improved since then. We've had five total generations of Apple silicon chips, with the M5 unveiled in the 14-inch MacBook Pro just last month. Here's how the M5 measures up to the M1, per Apple's M5 specs: 6x faster CPU/GPU performance 6x faster AI performance 7.7x faster AI video processing 6.8x faster 3D rendering 2.6x faster gaming performance 2.1x faster code compiling Geekbench comparison scores: M1 single-core - 2,320 M5 single-core - 4,263 M1 multi-core - 8,175 M5 multi-core - 17,862 M1 Metal - 33,041 M5 Metal - 75,637 Both CPU and GPU performance have increased significantly over the past five years, and Apple has boosted AI and gaming performance too with add-ons like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and an ever-improving Neural Engine. M1 Chip M5 Chip Made with TSMC's 5nm process (N5) Made TSMC's third-generation 3nm process (N3P) Based on A14 Bionic Pro chip from iPhone 12 Based on A19 Pro chip from iPhone 17 Pro 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU 3.2 GHz CPU clock speed 4.61 GHz CPU clock speed No integrated Neural Accelerators Integrated Neural Accelerator in every GPU core No ray tracing engine Third-generation ray tracing engine No dynamic caching Second-generation dynamic caching Support for up to 16GB unified memory Support for up to 32GB unified memory 68.25 GB/s unified memory bandwidth 153 GB/s unified memory bandwidth Apple sold Apple silicon Macs alongside Intel Macs for three years, but phased out the final Intel Mac in June 2023 when the 2019 Mac Pro was discontinued. Now all of Apple's devices have Apple chips, and we're even hitting the end of the road for Intel Mac software support. Intel Macs won't get software updates after macOS Tahoe. Over the next five years, Apple silicon chip technology will continue to evolve. Apple supplier TSMC is already working on 2nm chips that could make an appearance as soon as 2026, offering a 10 to 15 percent speed improvement and a 25 to 30 percent power reduction. 1.4nm chips could follow as soon as 2028 for even more power and efficiency.Tag: Apple SiliconThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums09:04 pmiPhone Air bombed so hard that Apple will delay the next version

Samsung today updated its SmartThings app for the iPhone, adding several new features for those who own Samsung products or devices connected to the SmartThings ecosystem. Samsung says that the changes are helpful for households with both Galaxy and Apple devices. Device groups created in the SmartThings app are available, and those groups can be viewed and controlled with the accompanying SmartThings Apple Watch app. Apple Watch users can view their full SmartThings device list, send commands, and trigger routines from the wrist. SmartThings is also gaining support for Siri Shortcut controls of SmartThings Routines. With this capability, SmartThings automations can be launched with Siri voice commands. The automations work similarly to HomeKit automations, so users can do things like create a "Good Morning" routine that turns on the lights, opens the blinds, and starts the coffee machine, or a "Leaving Home" routine that locks the doors, turns off the lights, and activates a home alarm. The app already supported Live Activities, but it is expanding to support up to five recently used devices at a glance, including air conditioners, robot vacuums, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and more. The SmartThings app can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

Apple initially planned to release a new iPhone Air in fall 2026, but now that's not going to happen. Since the iPhone Air launched in September, there have been reports of poor sales and manufacturing cuts. Apple's supply chain has scaled back shipments and production. Apple supplier Foxconn has reportedly dismantled all but one and a half of its production lines for the iPhone Air, and all production is expected to be stopped at the end of the month. Luxshare, another supplier, stopped production at the end of October. Apple was counting on the novel look of the device to spark interest, because it features the first substantial design update that we've seen to the iPhone lineup since the iPhone X added Face ID and an all-display design in 2017. Creating a super thin 5.6mm iPhone required compromises, so the iPhone Air has a smaller battery and a single-lens rear camera, but it still has a high price tag. Apple priced it starting at $999, and that appears to be more than customers are willing to pay for style without substance. The iPhone Air is only $100 cheaper than the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro, which has a triple-lens rear camera and much better battery life. Apple has not been able to land on a fourth iPhone that will sell well alongside the standard iPhone and Pro iPhone models. Apple experimented with a smaller 5.4-inch iPhone mini that suffered from disappointing sales, then moved on to the larger "Plus" iPhone that served as a more affordable version of the Pro Max. Plus models also failed, leading to the iPhone Air. Apple has already been planning for a split launch for the iPhone starting with the iPhone 18 models. The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone are planned for fall 2026, while the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will be held until early 2027. It's possible that the next-generation iPhone Air will come out alongside the iPhone 18 in the spring. Apple has been working on a second-generation version of the iPhone Air with a lighter weight, vapor chamber cooling, and a larger battery capacity, but Apple could rethink the design.Related Roundup: iPhone AirBuyer's Guide: iPhone Air (Buy Now)This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums07:35 pmApple Delays Release of Next iPhone Air Amid Weak Sales
An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple is delaying the release of next year's version of the iPhone Air, its thinnest smartphone, after the first model sold below expectations, according to three people involved in the project. Although the length of the delay remains uncertain, the product won't be released in fall 2026 as previously planned, they said.

Samsung recently came out with the Galaxy XR, its first mixed reality headset. The Galaxy XR competes with the Apple Vision Pro, so we thought we'd pick one up to see how it compares to Apple's headset. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. In person, it's hard to mistake how much it looks like the Apple Vision Pro, but there are minimal design options for an XR headset that straps to your face. The Galaxy XR is a whole lot cheaper than the Vision Pro at $1,799. It's not as premium as the Vision Pro because it's using more affordable materials like plastic, but that also means it's a lot lighter. The lighter weight makes it more comfortable to wear, and it also feels more balanced on the head. Having anything attached to your face can be unpleasant, but the Galaxy XR is an improvement over the Vision Pro. There's a single strap, but it cradles the back of the head and has a dial at the back to tighten it. Unlike the Vision Pro, the seal on the Galaxy XR doesn't block out all light, so you're not entirely cut off from your surroundings. The headset has two micro-OLED displays that look good, but text isn't as sharp as it is on the Vision Pro. Samsung partnered with Google for the Android XR operating system, and the Galaxy XR features deep Google Gemini integration. Gemini can use the cameras in the headset to see what the wearer is looking at, answering questions about what's in view. Circle to Search is available for real-life items, which can be useful. There aren't many apps available for the Galaxy XR because it's new, and so is the Android XR operating system. YouTube, Google Maps, Photos, Netflix, and more come pre-installed, and Android apps can be downloaded from the Play Store, but they're not optimized for AI. The Vision Pro offers more apps, but it's been out for a longer period of time. Hand and eye tracking is not as intuitive as it is on the Vision Pro, so that's something Apple does better. Samsung sells optional controllers, which do help with control issues. The Vision Pro connects to a Mac to serve as a virtual display, and the Galaxy XR can connect to a PC in the same way. It's not as smooth of an experience as connecting to a Mac, and multiple apps are required to get it up and running. Make sure to watch our video to see all of the Galaxy XR features, and let us know if it's something you'd buy. The Galaxy XR is available for $1,799.99 and Samsung has a 24-month financing option. Early adopters receive the Explorer Pack at no additional cost, which Samsung says has a value of at least $1,140. It includes 12 months of access to Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, Adobe Project Pulsar, and Calm Premium, plus an NBA League Pass subscription and more. Samsung is also selling a Galaxy XR Travel Case and Galaxy XR Controller for $250 each. Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Samsung.

Macworld Well, well, well, it looks like there’s no need to wait for Black Friday if you were planning on getting the Apple AirPods 4 earbuds because they just dropped to a brand new, lowest price of $85 at Amazon. The AirPods 4 are absolutely fantastic, and they’re some of our favorite earbuds. When we reviewed the ANC version of these earbuds, we gave them a 4.5-star rating, loving just how great the audio quality is. It also doesn’t hurt that these earbuds are now sweat and water-resistant, so they’ll survive your workouts just fine, and that they come with a USB-C charging case. The battery life on these earbuds, when charging them with the case, is about 30 hours of play time, which is fantastic, and the buds hold about 5 hours of power before needing to be thrown back into the case for a bit. The H2 chip inside the buds improves the quality of phone calls, reduces background noise, and delivers an overall better experience both when chatting with friends and when listening to music. You also get access to Siri, asking her to make calls, play songs, and so on, which is always great to be able to do. Stop wasting time and get the Apple AirPods 4 for $85 while they’re still down to their best price.

Apple recently updated the iPad Pro, widening the gap with the iPad Air, but how different are the two product lines and which should you buy? Earlier this year, Apple refreshed the iPad Air with the M3 chip—a minor update over the previous model from 2024 which added the M2 chip and Apple Pencil hover. The latest iPad Pro models introduced the M5 chip alongside a small number of changes after last year's major redesign, which saw the debut of a thinner design with OLED displays. Should you consider purchasing the iPad Air to save money, or do you need the high-end features of the iPad Pro? Our guide answers the question of how to decide which of these two iPads is best for you. iPad Air (M3, 2025) iPad Pro (M5, 2025) Liquid Retina display (LED backlit display with IPS technology) Ultra Retina XDR display (Tandem OLED) ProMotion technology for refresh rates up to 120Hz 11-inch model SDR brightness: 500 nits max 13-inch model SDR brightness: 600 nits max SDR brightness: 1,000 nits max XDR brightness: 1,000 nits max full screen, 1,600 nits peak (HDR content only) Nano-texture display glass option on 1TB and 2TB models Drive external displays at 60Hz Drive external displays at up to 120Hz Adaptive Sync support M3 chip M5 chip Made using TSMC's first-generation 3nm technology (N3) Made using TSMC's third-generation 3nm process (N3P) Based on A17 Pro chip from iPhone 15 Pro (2023) Based on A19 Pro chip from iPhone 17 Pro (2025) 8-core CPU (4 performance + 4 efficiency cores) Up to 10 CPU cores (4 performance + 6 efficiency cores) 9-core GPU 10-core GPU Integrated Neural Accelerator in every GPU core Metal 4 developer APIs Metal 4 developer APIs with Tensor APIs to program GPU Neural Accelerators LPDDR5 memory LPDDR5X memory 8GB of memory 256GB and 512GB models: 12GB memory 1TB and 2TB models: 16GB memory 100 GB/s memory bandwidth 153 GB/s unified memory bandwidth Dedicated display engine First-generation ray tracing engine Third-generation ray tracing engine First-generation dynamic caching Second-generation dynamic caching Shader cores Enhanced shader cores GPU with standard power efficiency More power-efficient GPU: Maintains performance with significantly less power Improved thermal design with graphite sheets and copper Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip N1 chip Bluetooth 5.3 Bluetooth 6 Wi-Fi 6E connectivity Wi-Fi 7 connectivity Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G modem (cellular models only) C1X chip (cellular models only) Touch ID in top button TrueDepth camera system for Face ID Portrait mode with advanced bokeh and Depth Control Portrait Lighting with six effects (Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, High-Key Mono) Animoji and Memoji LiDAR scanner Adaptive True Tone flash Rear ambient light sensor ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 256GB capacity) ProRes video recording up to 4K at 60 fps with external recording Two microphones Four studio-quality microphones Audio zoom Stereo recording Landscape stereo speakers Four speaker audio Weight: 462 grams or 617 grams Weight 444 grams or 579 grams Depth: 6.1 mm Depth: 5.3 mm or 5.1 mm Fast-charge capable (Up to 50% charge using a 60W adapter or higher in 30 minutes with the 11-inch model or 35 minutes with the 13-inch model) USB‑C connector USB‑C connector with support for Thunderbolt/USB 4 Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad Air Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB storage Up to 2× faster SSD read and write speeds Available in Space Gray, Starlight, Purple, and Blue Available in Space Black and Silver Price starting at $599 Price starting at $999 Overall, the iPad Air is the better option for the majority of users, simply on the basis of value for money. For most people, the additional $400+ needed to buy the iPad Pro is not justified to get the likes of Face ID, a thinner design, four-speaker audio, and a ProMotion OLED display with refresh rates up to 120Hz. Some iPad Pro features, such as LiDAR, up to 16GB of memory, and Thunderbolt connectivity are only practically useful to a small niche of users and most will never use some of these high-end capabilities. Many features, such as Adaptive Sync and Audio zoom, will not be meaningfully utilized by many users. Professionals who have a clear use case for needing larger amounts of RAM and storage, a matte display, Thunderbolt connectivity, and OLED for HDR content will clearly benefit from buying the iPad Pro. That being said, "prosumer"-style customers who simply want the best iPad will enjoy features such as 120Hz ProMotion for smoother scrolling and gaming, a thinner design, deeper blacks and more vivid colors with the OLED display, and the Adaptive True Tone flash for document scanning, even if they are not necessary. Beyond these individual circumstances, the iPad Air is the best value for money and will be more than ample for most users' needs. With the iPad Air, users can get a modern all-screen design, the M3 chip, practical features like USB-C and 5G connectivity, and compatibility with the core Apple accessories for a price well below that of the iPad Pro. A new iPad Air with the M4 chip is in development and will likely launch in the first half of 2026, which may be worth bearing in mind if you aren't in a hurry to make a purchase. The new chip is expected to be the main upgrade, with few other new features or enhancements expected.

Apple wants to expand iPhone satellite connectivity beyond emergencies, adding support for third-party apps and offline navigation in Maps. (via Cult of Mac - Your source for the latest Apple news, rumors, analysis, reviews, how-tos and deals.)04:55 pm2026 is shaping up to be the year of the Mac
Macworld The holiday shopping season is upon us, and it’s a popular time of year to shop for a new Mac. Apple’s selection right now is as good as it’s ever been; however, if you’re buying a Mac more because you want to and less because you need to, there are very good reasons to wait until next year. The latest report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reiterates Apple’s big plans for the Mac in 2026. In the first half of the year, Apple plans to ship the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro. Apple usually ships these high-end laptops along with the base M-series MacBook Pro, but it changed its release cycle this year when the M5 MacBook Pro was released about three weeks ago, sans the Pro and Max models. According to a previous report, the delay was caused by Apple’s redesign of the M5 Pro and Max, which separates the CPU and GPU blocks, allowing for more customization of cores. The M5 MacBook Air will be released, too, though it’s not clear if it will be at the same time as the new MacBook Pro. And then there’s the rumored affordable MacBook that uses an iPhone chip, made to compete with Chromebooks and cheap Windows PCs. Gurman then says that in the middle of 2026 (we’re guessing between May and WWDC26 in June), Apple will update two desktop Macs. The Mac mini will get the M5 and M5 Pro, and the Mac Studio will get the M5 Max and M5 Ultra. Then, around this time next year, the M6 MacBook Pro will be released. That’s a pretty big Mac release schedule, but Apple has even bigger plans. Previous reports indicate that Apple is planning a major overhaul of the MacBook Pro, featuring an OLED display, a thinner design, and a touchscreen in the M6 Pro and M6 Max models. Gurman thinks these laptops will be released late next year or in early 2027. Conspicuously missing from the schedule are the iMac and the Mac Pro. Both of these are low-volume sales machines for Apple, so it’s not surprising that they are on longer update cycles. The iMac currently has an M4, so it seems feasible that Apple could upgrade it to an M5 or skip a generation and wait for the M6; no reports have been made about an iMac chip or design update. The Mac Pro, however, tops out with an M2 Ultra chip, which has been eclipsed by the M4 Pro, M4 Max, and M3 Ultra in terms of CPU performance. We haven’t heard any solid reports have been made about the Mac Pro, though perhaps the aforementioned high-end M5 chip block redesign will play a role in the tower Mac’s release.04:53 pmGRU (São Paulo) on 2025-11-19

Apple is still planning to introduce a new AI-powered "Health+" service in 2026, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman revisited the rumor about a revamped Health app in the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter. Apple is apparently planning to overhaul the Health app next year with a new Health+ service, featuring an AI assistant. Gurman said that it "could make Apple one of the first major tech companies to gain steam in the health AI chatbot space." Earlier this year, Gurman said the AI-powered health coaching feature will offer personalized health recommendations accompanied by videos from health experts that inform users about various health conditions and ways to make lifestyle improvements. Nutrition tracking is also expected to be another big part of the revamped Health app. Gurman also mentioned Apple's plans to introduce a revamped version of Siri with iOS 26.4, an AI-powered web search tool, and a redesigned version of Siri in iOS 27.
